The January 1st, 1998, issue of Nature (Vol. 391) presented us with the annual
"Anniversaries" commentary (pp 13-16) which commemorates landmark scientific discoveries and
puts them in a historical perspective. Pierre and Marie Curie discovered polonium and radium in 1898; Henry Cavendish measured gravity and determined the density of the earth for the first time in 1798; and Hildegard von Bingen was born in 1098.

The "Chemistry Teacher Connection" (CTC) is especially for high school chemistry teachers. For only $40/year, it offers an online-only subscription to CLIC along with membership in the Division of Chemical Education, normally $65/year. CTC subscribers receive access to all articles and supplements from 1996 through the current issue.
Through special arrangement with the ACS, JCE High School CLIC is now able to provide subscribers with online access to Chemical & Engineering News articles that have been selected specifically for secondary science instructors and their students.
Occasionally, collections of JCE back issues become available for donation to individual teachers, schools, or libraries. JCE matches collections with interested recipients. Recipients pay shipping costs or pick up the collection.
